Thistle scouts is a mottle-leafed, harlequin group of silly billies who spend time with plants, play made-up games, do some art projects and eat snacks. “summer camp cosplay.” We are a place for incandescent, splendid trans joy! Scout meets happen twice a month and are drop-in — come when you can! We bless different locations with our presence, so we have a signal thread to stay appraised of the details (Sign up to get the notes). We want thistle scouts to welcoming, easy, fun and meaningful.
We are Ced and Vilde – we run the “local chapter” of thistle scouts. We met in a waterfall, or was it the middle of a summer berry pie, or else we hadn’t found this earth yet. Once we were small and young, and then we were thistle scouts (For years Perhaps!), and eventually the last bunch went to seed and left us the keys!
Ced (They/Them)’s Story will be here soon.
Vilde (she/her) is a doodler, a personifier of inanimate objects, she might be just fooling. She sometimes gets so overcome by the beauty of a precious poppy or a dandelion puff that her legs give right out from under her. she’s trans and means it. She’s been into community-led, free spaces and projects for decades, she loves meetings and collective stuff and talking about feelings and likes most of her food cold. She’s an herbalist and teacher and propeller-head (ie. gadgets sci-fi role-playing games & comprehensive Dichotomous keys), and committed (over and over again) to the earth and to the struggle.
